*Maria*

He picks up a large towel off his oak dresser and wraps it around my shoulders and takes a step back as if to access the damage.

Embarrassment and shame is displayed there right along with the bruises.

"It's not a problem. You're welcome here," He assures me with comforting whisper. That's when I realize I could get him in a lot of trouble by just being here. Hie parents would freak. Not to mention what Hank would do. That bastard. I'm never going back. I'd rather sleep on the street then in that torture chamber.

He waves his hand over my face in one movement. The pain instantly vanishes, and once again I'm left in his debt.

"Thanks." I whisper placing tenative fingers over where the marks used to reside.

Not wanting to upset him ,but needing him to know the truth I blurt out.

"I know who you are. You don't have to worry. Your secret is safe with me." My voice is barely above a whisper.

"Thanks." Maria says, holding her fingers up to her face carefully, and it hits me that now she'll be even more suspicious, but that seems a bit trivial.

"You're welcome," I say with a gentle smile, glad to see that her face is back to it's normal, pretty self. It pains me that someone would do that to anyone. It's horrible.

"I know who you are. You don't have to worry. Your secret is safe with me." She blurts out at a whisper a moment later, and I look up into her eyes, surprised.

"How do you...when did you?" I ask quietly, shifting my gaze uncomfortably. "You can't tell anyone," I add a little pleadingly, looking back into her eyes once more.

*Maria*

He looks as surprised as I have ever seen him. Then his eyes fill with a deep saddness.

"How do you...when did you?" his voice wavers a bit and his eyes refuse to meet mine. "You can't tell anyone," his tone begs as his eyes find mine once again.

"I won't." I shake my head for emphasis. "I. I have a friend who is one too." I add. I don't mention Tess' name because I would rather have her tell him.

Clutching the towel closer I look around his room. It looks like the typical guys room. There are various nick nacks a sports memorobila and then a book shelf. Hmmm

"I won't. I. I have a friend who is one too." She says quietly, and I trust her. I want to know who this 'friend' is that she's talking about, but I can't exactly ask. I just nod, letting her know that I believe her. Awkward silence follows, so I look up from my feet just in time to see Maria clutch the towel closer, and realize that in her wet clothes she must still be freezing.

"You know, you should probably change those clothes," I add, blushing a little. "My mom left some of my sister's clean clothes in my laundry..." I finish, glancing up.

It's weird, having someone in my room other than Liz or Alex. It's pretty disastrous, and, well, thank god my parents are asleep, because my mom would freak if she came in now.

*Liz*

"Why the hell would you do that! I can't believe you'd endanger our lives for you stupid ass boyfriend!" he said storming out of my room.

I endanger everyone? How could I endanger everyone when he was the one who save the waitress at the crashdown. I sit there 15 minutes to cool myself down. Its obvously Michael and I need to talk about this. I sigh and got up from my room and goes to Michael. I know his door is lock so I unlock in with my hand. I knock and then open it, "Michael may---" I see he has a guest and it's that waitress from crashdown.

"Hi...."

*Maria*

"You know, you should probably change those clothes," he states while his cheeks turn a soft pink.

"My mom left some of my sister's clean clothes in my laundry..." he concludes his eyes rising to meet mine. He is soo cute when he's embarassed.

"Thanks, that would be great." Removing the towel I let it slide off my shoulders.

Not that I am one to get swept up in vanity still I feel a bit self consious. So I run may hand through my drenched locks.

Taking the clothes from hi outstretched hands I mumble.

"Can you turn around?"

Michael

"Thanks, that would be great." Maria says, taking off the towel as I grab a shirt of mine and a pair of Liz's pants; all I could find in the basket. I guess mom was a little less absentminded about what she puts where this time.

"This is all I've got," I say, holding them out awkwardly. She takes them, and then, running a hand through her hair looks at them.

"Can you turn around?" She mumbles, and I nod, embarrased, then turn around to face my wall.

"Yeah, sorry."

*Maria*

He nods clearly embarrased by the situation,and then proceeds to turn around to face the wall.

"Yeah, sorry." he mumbles.

"No problem. Happens all the time." I try to joke ,but it comes out a little stale.

I tug a stray strand of hair behind my ear as I slip out of my clothes and into a Metallica tee and some black track pants.

"Okay." I whisper

Suddenly feeling very vulnerable my eyes dart all around the room.

Thats when the door flies open.

"Michael may---" She looks from me to Michael. Back to me with a less than amused expression.

"Hi...."

Uh. Oh. This is not what it looks like. Okay so I'm in his room in the middle of the night in sleepwear. Yeah, thats bound to look bad. So whar do I do. What i always do. I bolt.

"Uh.. Hi. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I'll just get out of your way." I stammer making my way over to the window.

*Liz*

"Uh.. Hi. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I'll just get out of your way." she said rushing to the window. I look at her and knew why she is leaving so suddenly, but I know for a fact she and Michael did nothing together. He is not that type of guy.

I go to her and stop her by touching her arm lightly. "No it's fine. I shouldn't have come in like that...I didn't know Michael had company." I said feeling sorry for her.

*Maria*

His sister, Liz stops me by placing her hand lightly on my arm.

"No it's fine. I shouldn't have come in like that...I didn't know Michael had company." she says with a gentle voice. Something in her smile tells me I can trust her so i decide to stick it out.

"Um.. I didn't mean it intrude. If you need to steal him away for a minute I'll understand."
